Correcting Vancouver vitamin D deficiency boosts the immune system to ward off disease and even depression.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Take Vitamin D

A healthy body needs a healthy, well-functioning immune system. Vitamin D supports a health immune system and aids fight challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can activate excessive immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution usually lands on respiratory mucosa and influences the respiratory system. (The news is filled with talk about the respiratory system today.) Vitamin D supplementation is a strategy study proposes may boost the immune system to combat such invasion. (3) Vitamin D is reportedly advantageous to improve and keep clinical depression at bay due to its homeostatic, immunomodulatory and neuroprotective roles. (4) Many from government, research and industry globally know that vitamin D deficiency is an extensive problem. All are seeking for ways to deal with it and answer the questions “How much vitamin D should I take a day?” and “How best do we ensure everyone gets that?” (5) Let us discuss this at your next chiropractic visit and make a plan to boost your vitamin D level and permit your body to ward off health-compromising problems.
